Resources

The UWG Office of Education Abroad coordinates a broad range of study abroad opportunities
for students at all levels of their university careers -- study abroad is open to
all UWG students, and the cost of participating is less than most students anticipate.

Welcome

The Office of Education Abroad serves as a resource for students interested in exploring
how study abroad can fit into their degree programs and for faculty looking to increase
their international engagement through international program and partnership development.
OEA promotes activities and programs designed to increase intercultural understanding
-- both on-campus and in the development of effective international partnerships --
and to facilitate access to opportunities for global engagement. OEA supports the
university's mission, as articulated in its Strategic Plan, "to engage all student
populations in high impact, experiential learning" by supporting the development of
cost efficient and academically rich study abroad programs in all academic units of
the institution. The office seeks to build strong partnerships with foreign academic
institutions so as to provide greater opportunities for both students and faculty
to participate in the process of internationalization. We strive to provide greater
access to the benefits of education abroad through on-campus scholarships and counseling
on financial aid and external scholarship opportunities. Finally, we develop and support
programming that engages our campus and local communities in the understanding of
cultural diversity and the exploration of global citizenship.
